The President Misrepresented.


1t is not necessary for a public Journal to
suppress the truth, or make misstatements
respecting its political opponents, to con-
vince its readers that its partisan preten-
sions are genuine The New
York Tribune, however, seems 10
find it impossible to deal justly
and fairly with the President 1t not only
states incorrectly matters with which he is
connected, but it aims to so color its re-
ports as to put him in false and discreditable
positions.
In its report of Fridays parade in Phila-
delphia il is stated that he refused to recog-
nize Governor Foraker, of Ohio, although
he recognized all the other Governors pres
emit as they passed him at the head of their
troops 1t did not leave it to be inferred
that Governor Foraker had saluted the
President, but distinctly said that the Gov
ernor, with uncovered head. waved his
sword at the President and that the 'Presi-
dent preferred to stand as solemn as a
stuffed owl"
The New York Times says the Tri6une's
story is untrue. 1t says that Gov. Foraker
had his hat in hand when he reached the
Presidents stand and that he looked at the
President but did not bow. The President
took off his hat but did not incline his head.
He almost Immediately replaced his hat. A
set smile, says the Times, was on the Gov
ernor's face, and just the slightest stiffness
was perceptible in the manner of the Presi-
dent
The Times version is doubtless the true
4N 4I,,
President, and did not salute him with his
sword for the very good reason that he had
no sword. The President did all that could
be expected of him under the circumstances.
If Governor Foraker had saluted him as
other Governors did, he would have been
treated with the same courtesy that was ex-
tended to them.
But why should a journal of the standing
of the tribune try TO put.the President in a
discreditable position, when there was moth
ing to justify 1t in doing so? Is it so hard
pushed for material to arouse partisan feel
ing that it has to resort to disreputable
means to obtain it,
1t is probably true that the best of feeling
does not exist between Gov Foraker and
the President. The Governor made himself
very conspicuous in connection with the
battle flag incident, and afterward in his
public speeches used language with respect
to the President that ill-became the Cover
nor of a great State. 1t was language such
as a ward politician would have hesitated
to use. The President. however, would have
readily responded to any courtesy extended
to him by Gov. Foraker at Philadelphia.
The fact that he took off his
hat and waited for Governor
Foraker to salute him, as the other Cover
nors had done, showed that he had no in
tention to treat Gov. Foraker rudely.
The Tribune, if it continues to misrepre-
sent the President, can hardly hope to re-
tain the respect of those of its readers who
believe in fair play. Honest criticism is
desirable and beneficial, but misrepresen-
tation is something of which no decent
journal will knowingly be guilty.

Where Randall is Useful.
From the New York Star Dem,

From the Netr York Star lDem.l
In regard to Mr. Randall, the Democratic vo-
tiers everywhere recognize his exceptional vigor
in keeping the sum OF Federal taxation down to
its lowest limits. In that work he and Mr.. Hol-
man have no sllperiors, aud it is invaluable
work As to the subjects of Federal taxation,
well as the object Of Federal taxation and its
methods, Mr.. Randall probably differs from Mr..
Carlisle and Mr.. Mills. But, like twelve men
in jury box, those leaders are bound to agree
on a verdict. Meanwhile until they agree, or
announce their disagreement let us not talk of
reading anyone out of the party. Our party is
not now big enough for that amusement.

What tho President Will See.

from Inc BOSTON GlOGc lUem)
Passing through Pennsylvania and Ohio or
through many another State, the President may
see places where nature has buried inexhaust-
iole stores of coal for the use of man, enough to
satisfy his most extravagant needs for many
century TO come. He may see swarms of men,
and, shameful to relate, women and children
too, with wan faces, shrunken limbs, ragged
clothes and empty stomachs, eagerly waiting
for permission TO bring this buried treasure to
the surface at a cost of a few cents ton. And
yet he must reflect that in every large city there
are not merely helpless women and children, bnt
able ~odied men VINO shiver with cold in winter
and are unable to obtain fuel

An Overblrdened Court.

For years Congress has been trying to de-
wise some means for giving relief to the
United States Supreme Court. More bust
ness is brought before it than it can attend
to, and every year it is getting further be-
hind with its work. 1t could not clear its
docket in less than three years il no more
cases were taken to it.
The delay in deciding cases amounts al
most to q denial of justice. Great changes
take place in the values of property in
three or four years, and when large inter
ests are at stake long delays often cause
heavy losses.
In his address to the Philadelphia lar last
Thursday Chief Justice Waite called atten-
ton to the fact that the appellate jurisdic-
ton of the Supreme Court is practically the
same now, when the country has a popula-
ton of &c, 900, 900, as it was when the popu-
lation was less than 100000. 1t is safe
to say that fifteen times as many cases are
now docketed every year as there was half
a century ago. The necessity, therefore, of
affording the court some relief is apparent
to every one who gives the matter the least
consideration.
Congress understands that the court is
overburdened, but it has not been able to
agree upon any plan for its relief. Several
plans have been proposed and discussed, but
the fear of each party that the other will
get some advantages in the distribution of
the offices that must be created has prevent
ed any decisive action. If the experience of
the past is a sound basis for judging of the
future, nothing will be done to relieve the
court until one political party has con-
troll of both branches of Congress.

Mrs. Cleveland is said by the New York
Tribune TO have refused to shake hands
with Governor and Mrs. Foraker at the
public reception in Philadelphia, though the
President treated them as he did all others
who attended. The story is denied, however,
by other papers, which are more reliable.
In view Of the passage said 20 have occurred

week, IL would not have been strange II tho

The Development of the Newspaper

The Development of the Newspaper.
The Philadelphia Times, on the last day
of the Constitutional Centennial, published
an interesting article showing the progress
which has been made in journalism since
the constitution was adopted. A century
ago there was only one newspaper in Phila-
delphia, then the chief city of the country,
and its circulation was not over 500 copies
All that it contained could be put in five
columns of the MORNING News. 1t pub
lished no editorials, local reports, nor markets,
and very little news matter. About all of
its space was occupied by advertisements.
Its European news, that was not
more than sixty days old, was regarded as
fresh. To print the paper it required 1.-TWO
separate impressions by hand on each side of
the sheet, making four distinct impressions
from the press to complete the paper, and
the ink was applied by buckskin covered
cabbage head mixers, which were then the
only known method of linking types" The
Times says that the entire circulation OF
newspapers in the whole country at the
time of the adoption of the Constitution,
could now be printed in less than one minute
Ill us OLuCe.
The change which has taken place in
newspapers, and the methods of making
them, in hundred years is certainly won
derful. Now in the leading papers of the
country, news from every part of the civil
LIED world is printed every morning.
Steam and electricity have been brought to
their aid, and a great army of workers have
been enlisted in their service. Every topic
Of human interest. is dealt with in their
columns, and money Is spent with lavish
hand to make them interesting and valua-
Die.
The world could not get along very well
without them What changes there will
be in them in another century is a matter
for speculation, but it is hardly probable that
they will be as great as those which have
taken place since the adoption of our consti-
tuition

Georgia's Governor received very hearty
and enthusiastic reception at Philadelphia
during the constitutional celebration. The
Press, of that city, speaks of him in a way
to make him feel that he was among friends

long and enthusiastic welcome yesterday

touched every American, and whose recent
unflinching fight for prison reform deserves
and receives the admiration of every
phhanthropist AM lover of his kind. The

The Stars Rash Statement.

The New York Star says: 1.-THE Republi-
cans are trying to honor the memory of
Gen Grant by nominating his son for Sec
rotary of State. The Star is trying to
honor the memory of Gen Grant by assist
ing to build monument at his grave We
do not pretend TO deny that the Star is sim
cere in saying that, in raising money for
monument to Gen. Grant, it is moved by a
desire to honor his memory, but no doubt
great many people in New York and other
parts of the country think that its main OBJ
ject is to advertise itself, and increase its
circulation. However, as it doesn't seem to
be making much progress in raising the
fund, generous public will probably ac-
cept its statement, without much discount,
that its motive is an unselfish one.
The statement, however, that the Repub-
licans nominated Col Fred Grant to honor
the memory of his father viii not be ac-
cepted as correct. If they will not help to
build a monument to honor the memory of
Gen. Grant they certainly did not nominate
his son for an Office for the purpose of
honoring it. They nominated Col Fred
Grant because they thought that he would
help to elect their ticket Gen Grant was
very popular with the New York Republi-
cans, and the party leaders doubtless thought
that his son would arouse enthusiasm in the
party The purpose in nominating him,
therefore, was a selfish, not a generous, one
The Star fell into grave error in supposing
that the Republican party of New York is
controlled by any other than selfish motives

The New York Aldermen were determined
to find out the true reason for Mrs. Cleve-
lands refusal TO accept their invitation to
present certain flags to the fire department
of that city, not only because they had
some curiosity about the matter, but also
because of the impression which prevails to
some extent, that the refusal was due to the
fact that the President was not invited to
be present at the flag ceremony.
The President of the Board of Aldermen
wrote to Mr.. Cleveland telling that there
was no intention to slight him. The Presi-
dent replied that neither he nor Mrs. Cleve-
land ever thought that any discourtesy to
him was intended or expressed in the invi-
tation 30 Mrs. Cleveland The President
further wrote: "The question presented to
Mrs. Cleveland was whether she was willing
to assume such a public role entirely indie
pendent of her husband and not as an ad-
junct or incident TO something he was TO do.
Her judgment and feeling were against it
and she declined the invitation. am very
glad she did, because If the plain meaning Of
her declination Is distorted | am sure her
conduct would have been if she had ac-
cepted." Thus another little effort 10 make

Still Harping on Higgins.

The Republican newspapers are deter
mined to make Higgins about the best
known man in the country They cannot
be induced to let him alone. They seem to
lose their tempers every time his name is
mentioned in their columns, or in the col
umns of other Journals, and they straight
way proceed to attack him in way that
doesn't annoy him very much, if all that is
said about hlm is true.
If it hadn't been for the newspapers
Higgins would have been entirely forgotten
by the public before this time He has not
sought notoriety, and has not asked a news
paper, as far as the public knows, TO say
word in his behalf. He has simply attended
to his business-and he has attended to it so
well that no one has any fault to find with
him. He doesn't even brag that his political
critics have failed to make the President be-
lieve that he is bad man and should DO inn
mediately dismissed from his little Office
The truth is that Higgins has no influence
with the administration, and is not in po-
sition to even learn its secrets. He is quiet,
gentlemanly man, whose chief desire, at
present, is to be let alone. He doesn't
thrust his civil service views upon other
people, and it is with extreme reluctance
that he talks at all about civil service re-
form.
Doubtless many of the stories told of his
doings in the local politics of Baltimore
have only small particle of truth in Them
1t is probable that Higgins had his appoint
ment in his pocket before the President
found out that he was not exactly the sort
of a man that he was represented to be.
However that may be, he has given no
cause for complaint since he entered the
Treasury Department as one of its clerks.
The President has no good ground for dis
missing him, and if he were to dismiss him
he would doubtless do himself more harm
than he is likely to by the course which he is
pursuing.
Higgins counts for nothing except in the
small Office, where all who have business
with him are treated courteously. He will
count for something, however, if the Mug
wump papers continue to boom him They
are so impracticable, however, that it would
not be surprising If some of them were to
refuse to support Mr.. Cleveland for a second
term unless he pledges himself TO dismiss
Higgins, but then it is a question whether
Higgins aid wouldn't be of more benefit 10
the President in securing a reelection than
that of the papers which have something
derogatory to say about Higgins every day.
